Baking Tip: Make Your Own Brown Sugar

We don't go through brown sugar very quickly, and our supply inevitably becomes hard and difficult to use. Since we learned this tip, we've stopped buying it all together. We just mix plain sugar with one other ingredient ...

You've probably guessed what it is – molasses.

For each cup of sugar, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of molasses for light brown sugar, and up to 1/4 cup for dark brown sugar. Depending on the recipe, you can either combine them in the food processor or just mix them together with other ingredients.
